The Legends Edition Ettore Bugatti is inspired by a 1932 Type 41 Royale chassis number 41111, which features a two-tone exterior. The front and side panels including the hood, mirror bases and housings, door handles, bumper corners, wings, and doors are made from hand-polished aluminum protected with a clear coat, while the rear, side panels, and A-pillar trim are finished in exposed dark blue carbon fiber. The Legends Edition Ettore Bugatti sits on a set of polished, diamond-cut split eight-spoke wheels with a dark blue finish. Those wheels are inspired by a set of lightweight wheels Ettore Bugatti designed for racing in the 1920s, and bear his name as a nod to the engineer's contribution to aluminum wheel technology. The exterior styling is capped by platinum-coated badges and Ettore Bugatti’s signature engraved into the fuel cap.

Inside, the interior is covered in a combination of traditional calf’s leather in Brun Cavalier and natural cordovan leather that goes through a six-month tanning process. Traditional leather is used throughout, while cordovan leather is used for the steering wheel rim, gear lever, door handles, center console armrest and door handle recesses, door switches, and roof module. Other interior details include exposed blue carbon fiber door trim and rear center box with a platinum-coated dancing elephant inspired by the Type 41 Royale’s hood ornament. The seats also feature dark blue seams.
